1. Steal Like an Artist

    Love this! Collect the things you love, everything around you that inspires or makes you think differently. Combine them with your own ideas building on what has come before. Become a “creative kleptomaniac” because great art is “theft”. Imitation alone wont get you too far though, it is the transformation of the ideas you steal that bring you to new levels. 

    “You are a mashup of what you let into your life.”

    This is the reason I’m on YouTube and Vimeo almost everyday seeing the new content filmmakers are consistently putting out. Especially in this age of the internet, we are so influenced by all the hundreds of things we see on a daily basis. It is hard to make something original, and sometimes (a lot of times actually) when I think I’ve had an original idea I’ll google it and find out that actually I haven’t! The key is taking these thoughts, combining and transforming them into something new and exciting…ok enough talking…GO!

    What are you going to let into your life today? What are you going to take from today that will better you tomorrow?
